Antec Sonata Power Supply dead?

I got this Antec Case in Jan. and it has been running smoothly since then. It is only a gaming rig, so doesn't have much hooked up, but I was just playing Joint Ops when the screen went blank and the power lights went out. No noises or anything. Hitting the front and rear power button doesn't do anything, but the MB light is on. The PSU itself is barely even warm. Is it simply a PSU failure? I thought Antec's were solid.. guess I may have gotten a bad unit.

AMD64 3000+
Asus K8V Deluxe
MSI DVD/CDRW
Audigy 2zs Plat.
74 gig Raptor
160 Gig Seagate SATA
Sapphire 9800 Pro

All the connections look good, so I guess i'll need to find a new PSU. If it is PSU, anyone have solid recommendations for one?

I think it's possible it could be a prob with your psu and I would agree with resetting the bios. If you are o/cing that could be the problem. Check your cpu temps.
 
Nothing is overclocked, but I will try resetting the Bios before picking up a new PSU. Thanks for the suggestions guys, I appreciate the quick responses.

Yup I called the 24 hour customer service and he said to either Fax or call back in the morning to get the RMA number and that there shouldn't be any problems. I couldn't wait though so I grabbed a Enermax 420 Watt Noise Taker from Fry's and will probably Craig's List the other PSU when I get a new one. Thanks for the help guys.
